At the UploadWizard UI when we add Category:foo in the category textbox it says this category doesn't exist. this bug is following of Bug 52444
I guess the "easy" part of this is that we should make it clear in the UI that the categories shouldn't be prefixed with Category:, or at least we should consider stripping that out automatically when we search (or if we fail to find it?) I'll label this as a GCI candidate task.

I said we shouldn't force users to type "Category:" in input category text box! and system should accept with out "Category:" only for that text box.
As said, as soon as there is a clear specification I will create the GCI task. We need more tasks!
User should be able to type: *Foo *Category:Foo *Localized namespaces (e.g. Catégorie:Foo if a french wiki) And have the exact same behaviour. (For example like in [[Special:RandomInCategory]]) One gotcha to watch out for is things like: *User:Foo Which should still be interpreted as Category:User:Foo
